Jane Davenport Artomology | A “Glance” is All it Takes | Arting with Kimball Davis
Here we are again! Kimball here, excited to bring you my final Artomology post! Portraits are one of my favorite things to do so, of course, I saved this for my last entry. The reason I love creating faces is because the slightest changes can create a whole new person, emotion or story. This time it’s all about the eyes. Instructions: Step 1 – I started off by using Jane’s INKredible Inks to add a splash of color to the background. To get the ink flowing, I use Jane’s mister bottle to wet the page before splashing down colors. Knowing this was a portrait, I made sure to use a…

Jane Davenport Artomology | Decompress in Times of Stress | Arting with Kimball Davis
Hello again! Kimball here with another Artomology adventure! Life is full of ups and downs and art can serve as a great tool to express emotions and release stress, especially when your world seems to be changing rapidly. When using art to express yourself emotionally, it can be beneficial to take on a more carefree approach to your creation. When you aren’t focused on a specific technique or end result, it allows you to focus in on what you’re really feeling. Sometimes you end up with a surprising piece that takes you out of your comfort zone and allows you to discover new things about yourself as an artist. Instructions:…

Jane Davenport Artomology | Mixed Media Card & Journal Insert with Mayline
Hi! Mayline here with you again and I am excited to be sharing my second guest post on the Spellbinders blog. For today’s post, I’ve created one card and one mixed media journaling that I made for the first time. That is why I am so excited to share this project with you. Here is my card for today: To start off, I stamped one of flowers girl images from Flower Girls Clear Stamps on 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 sized watercolour paper. Next, I stamped a sentiment from Crafty Minx Clear Stamps using a masking technique on the panel. I stamped a painting palette and brush images on the panel. I coloured them using watercolour paints. Lastly, I add yellow…

Jane Davenport Artomology | Journaling Spread with Cindy Guentert-Baldo
Hi everyone! Cindy here, sharing my third and final project using the Jane Davenport Artomology Collection. One of the things I’ve been incorporating into my bullet journaling lately has been memory keeping, so I thought it would be fun to show you how create a journaling spread using the same colors and collection. This spread is not water themed, but I did incorporate the same colors as the other two projects. Keeping to an exact theme all month can seem limiting, but there are ways (like using the same colors or a specific element) to keep everything cohesive while mixing it up a little. I love using pictures in my…

Jane Davenport Artomology | Weekly Planning Spread with Cindy Guentert-Baldo
Hi everyone! Cindy here, sharing my second project using the Jane Davenport Artomology Collection. After doing the underwater cover page I was really excited to experiment with a similarly themed weekly layout. I decided to do a basic vertical weekly layout, using a technique my friend Michelle Baxter (@quirkyheart on Instagram) loves to use – masking off the days and then inking. I lay down masking tape to keep the days clean (ish – working with ink is rarely neat!) and then used the same technique I used yesterday to spread the Squid Ink Hybrid Inkpads all over the page. When I was done, I used some of the Jane…

Today we are starting with a cover page for the month! Each month I do a cover page in my bullet journal – this serves two purposes. The first is to mark the start of the…

Jane Davenport Artomology | More Cardmaking Inspiration with Enza Gudor
Hello, everyone! Enza back with you to share my third and final post showcasing the Artomology collection by Jane Davenport. You can find the other posts here and here. This set of cards features the Mermaid For Each Other and the Sea Flower Etched Die Sets. For the first card, I created a background with the wave border die included in the Mermaid For Each Other set. I cut it several times out of different shades of blue and teal patterned papers, that I arranged from lightest to darkest to achieve an ombre look. I also added some pink tulle behind the waves for texture, and machine-stitched everything in place…

Jane Davenport Artomology | Floral Mixed Media Cards with Zsoka Marko
Hi there crafty friends, Zsoka back with you today with the second part of my 3 blog post series showcasing the gorgeous new Jane Davenport collection at Spellbinders, called Artomology! If you’ve missed my first post, you can find it here. I have 3 cards for you today, all using the same Sunflower Journal Etched die in slightly different ways. For my first card I die cut two Sunflower Journal flowers from a light pink patterned paper from the Maggie Holmes Willow Lane collection (I actually used this collection on all my cards today). I then backed one of the flowers with 2 different pink patterned papers. I die-cut some stems and leaves…
